quiche lorraine

French egg tart

Quiche Lorraine is a savory French tart with a filling of eggs, cream, and bacon baked in a pastry crust.

The dish originated in the Lorraine region of northeastern France.

It became fashionable in American cooking during the 1970s, spawning variations with added cheese, vegetables, or other ingredients—though purists insist the original contains neither cheese nor onions.
